21 more nights
I, Lena, am now at work. I'm working at a shelter for homeless addicts as you might know. I like it here, most of the guests are here regulary so we are getting to know them and we are having a nice homy feeling.
Tonight however we have had a busy night and I'm sitting down to catch my breth and to have a few minutes brake. Still a lot of the regular cleaning and stuff to do.
There was a couple that didn't quite get along and another couple that we tryed to make stay, but they are free to go so what can we do. It's no prison you know. Sometimes it's hard when you see the needs of our guests and they just don't want to see it themself. But I guess I'm not always making the best choices myself at all times...
Wow, imagine it's only 21 more nights at my work! Time will fly. It is a bit sad to think of it. As I said, I like my job and I will miss my crazy workmates :-) but... Only 21 more nights and we are off on our big adventure.
Today it feels like forever, but I know that in just a few weeks I wish I had more time for packing, sorting and organizeing. Do we have incurens? What car will we take? Will it all fit in the car? Do we need to bring the caravan? Is it fit for the long trip? we have to sell everything we're not bringing, where? How? When and will anyone buy it!? Where is the passport?... I guess I need the two month we still have left :-)

The countdown has begun!
We are packing and making ourselfs ready!
In the beginning of May we are empting our appartement to go south!
I must say it's a pity to leave Sweden in May, it's the most beautiful time of the year in Sweden then... But we are really longing for Greece so it will be wounderful to get down there!
Up til now we have been waiting for the right time, for everything to be ready.
Now, though we can't see that everything is ready, we feel that the time is right!
In a way it feels like parachuting on a cloudy day, you can't see wether there is land or sea underneath, you just have to trust and jump (not that I ever have been parachuting and don't have a clue if anyone would do it on a cloudy day... But still that is what we will do...).
We belive God is the one who has send us and then we know that he will provide for us!
Alot of the provition is coming through friends which makes us so greatful!
And we are so thankfull for our friends at Thassos that is making us feel so welcome aswell.
